- a method for reducing the emission of greenhouse gases such as for example carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere above a ground surface.
- the method comprises injecting a gas stream comprising one or more than one greenhouse gas into a subsurface injection formation, where the subsurface injection formation comprises a water-laden layer comprising formation water, and where some or all of the greenhouse gases present in the gas stream become dissolved in the formation water in the subsurface injection formation sequestering the one or more than one greenhouse gas in the subsurface injection formation, thereby reducing the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
- the method comprises venting one or more than one gas of the gas stream, such as nitrogen, from the subsurface injection formation into the atmosphere.
- the method comprises injecting the gas stream near the source of production.
- Greenhouse gas and “greenhouse gases” are defined as one or more than one gas selected from the group consisting of carbon dioxide, hexafluoroethane, methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, tetrafluoromethane (carbon tetrafluoride), trifluoromethane 1, 1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, and 1, 1-difluoroethane.
- Greenhouse gas should also be understood to include other gases that are identified in the future as contributing to the greenhouse effect.
- the phrase "relatively impermeable to water” means having a permeability to water of less than 10 millidarcy.
- the phrase “relatively low permeability to water” means having a permeability to water of between 10 millidarcy and 100 millidarcy.
- the phrase "relatively high permeability to water” means having a permeability to water of greater than 100 millidarcy.
- the phrase “high porosity” means having a rock formation with an intergranular void space of at least 20% of the total rock formation volume.
- the method comprises selecting a gas stream from a source of production, the gas stream comprising one or more than one type of greenhouse gas selected from the group consisting of carbon dioxide, hexafluoroethane, methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, tetrafluoromethane (carbon tetrafluoride), trifluoromethane, 1, 1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, and 1, 1-difluoroethane.
- the source is from a human industrial activity.
- the human industrial activity is selected from the group consisting of an ethylene production plant, a fertilizer production plant, a methanol production plant, a mining operation, a natural gas production operation, a natural gas treatment plant, a petroleum production operation and a petroleum refining operation, such as for example heavy oil and bitumen upgraders.
- the source of production is a thermal power plant, where coal, oil or natural gas are burned to generate steam for electricity generation, where the greenhouse gas is from the gaseous waste stream (also known as "flue gas") generated during the thermal process and coming from the combustion gases stack.
- the source can, however, be from any suitable facility, as will be understood by those with skill in the art with reference to this disclosure.
- a subsurface injection formation comprises a water- laden layer comprising formation water separated from the ground surface above the subsurface injection formation by one or more than one layer that is relatively impermeable to water (less than 10 millidarcy).
- the subsurface injection formation comprises formation water having a high porosity, such as a water-laden layer of a water- saturated sand formation, where the formation water is below a layer comprising shale or comprising other rock types containing clay minerals, or comprising both shale and comprising other rock types containing clay minerals.
- Another suitable subsurface injection formation is sufficiently deep to ensure that the injected gas will be sequestered and not pose a potential threat to the environment or to water supplies, even without thick and clearly defined layers of relatively high permeability to water layers alternating with relatively low permeability to water/relatively impermeable to water layers.
- a sufficient depth is related to the dissolution rate of the carbon dioxide as compared to the rate of rise due to buoyancy. Once the carbon dioxide is fully absorbed in the water, the carbon dioxide- water mixture is more dense than pure water and will no longer tend to rise to the ground surface.
- the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation has an average (median) temperature of between 20 0 C and 200 0 C.
- the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation has an average (median) pressure gradient (pressure per unit of depth, i.e., kilopascals per meter) of between 8 kilopascals (kPa)/meter of depth and 12 kilopascals/meter of depth.
- the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation has a salinity of at least 10,000 ppm (10 gm/liter), and is therefore unsuitable for human consumption or for industrial use other than the method for reducing the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere disclosed in this disclosure.
- the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation has a pH of between 4 and 10 to facilitate solubility of the greenhouse gas in the water-laden layer.
- the subsurface injection formation is deeper than any groundwater which can be removed for human use.
- the subsurface injection formation is separated from any zone of potable groundwater or groundwater suitable for an industrial use nearer the ground surface by at least one layer with relatively high permeability to water adjacent at least one layer with relatively low permeability (or relatively impermeable) to water.
- the subsurface injection formation is at least 100 meters below the ground surface. The 100 meter depth is sufficiently deep to insure that the injected greenhouse gas will be sequestered, even without at least one layer with relatively high permeability to water adjacent at least one layer with relatively low permeability (or relatively impermeable) to water, and sufficiently deep to ensure that the injected gas will not pose a potential threat to the environment or to water supplies.
- the subsurface injection formation is between 100 meters and 1000 meters below the ground surface, which is a range of depths near enough to the surface to allow injection of the gas in a cost-effective manner.
- the subsurface injection formation is at least 500 meters below the ground surface. In another particularly preferred embodiment, the subsurface injection formation is between 500 meters and 1000 meters below the ground surface.
- the method comprises selecting a surface site of injection of the gas stream above the subsurface injection formation for accessing the subsurface injection formation.
- the surface site of injection of the gas stream, as well as the subsurface injection formation is selected to additionally protect ground and ocean waters, such as for example by selecting a subsurface injection formation that does not outcrop or interact with formations between the subsurface injection formation and the ground surface.
- the method further comprises performing a geochemical analysis of the formation water in the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation to verify that the subsurface injection formation comprises only ancient water, and that the formation water is not in communication with non- ancient water sources.
- the method comprises injecting the gas stream comprising the one or more than one greenhouse gas from the source from the surface site of injection above the subsurface injection formation into the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation.
- the gas stream is injected near the source of production.
- the gas stream is injected within 100 kilometers of the source of production. In another embodiment, the gas stream is injected within 50 kilometers of the source of production.
- injecting of the gas stream comprises transporting the gas stream from the source of production to an injection pump at the surface site of injection of the gas stream above the subsurface injection formation.
- transporting the gas stream comprises providing one or more than one device selected from the group consisting of a compressor, a condenser, a pipeline, a pump and a valve to process and to move the greenhouse gases from the source of production to the surface site of injection of the gas stream above the subsurface injection formation.
- the method further comprises modifying one or more than one attribute of the gas stream prior to or during injection, where the one or more than one attribute is selected from the group consisting of pH, pressure, salinity and temperature to promote dissolution of the one or more than one greenhouse gas present in the gas stream into the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation.
- the pressure of the injected gas stream is modified to come closer to or match the pressure of the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation.
- the temperature of the injected gas stream is modified to come closer to or match the temperature of the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation.
- modifying one or more than one attribute of the gas stream comprises providing a heat exchanger to decrease the temperature of the gas stream prior to injection during transporting the gas stream.
- modifying one or more than one attribute of the gas stream comprises compressing the gas stream during transporting the gas stream.
- modifying one or more than one attribute comprises adding one or more than one chemical additive to the gas stream.
- the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation comprises a pore pressure (the pressure of water in the pore spaces of the subsurface injection formation) and further comprises a fracture pressure (the pressure of injected substance into the subsurface injection formation that is required to surpass the strength of the subsurface injection formation rock and thereby creates fractures/cracks in the subsurface injection formation), and the method comprises compressing the gas stream to a pressure value greater than the pore pressure of the subsurface injection formation (to facilitate injection) but less than the fracture pressure of the subsurface injection formation (to avoid fracturing the subsurface injection formation and risk loss of sequestration of the gas).
- the gas stream would be compressed to a pressure of at least 5 MPa but less than 10 MPa to be injected into the subsurface injection formation.
- the method further comprises inducing hydraulic fractures into the subsurface injection formation before injecting the gas stream.
- Inducing hydraulic fractures into the subsurface injection formation increases the surface area of contact with the formation water in the water-laden layer thereby promoting dissolution of the one or more than one greenhouse gas in the gas stream into the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation. Further, inducing hydraulic fractures into the subsurface injection formation decreases resistance within the subsurface injection formation to injection of the gas stream.
- the gas stream is the waste stream from a thermal power plant, where the thermal power plant comprises a combustion gases stack, and where injecting the gas stream comprises diverting greenhouse gases present in a waste stream of the thermal power plant from the combustion gases stack of the thermal power plant to the injection site above the subsurface injection formation.
- the percent of greenhouse gases in the gas stream from a source of production is 25 % or more than 25 % .
- the percent of greenhouse gases in the gas stream from a source of production such as the waste gas stream in the combustion gases stack of a thermal power plant
- the percent of greenhouse gases in the gas stream from a source of production such as the waste gas stream in the combustion gases stack of a thermal power plant
- the gas stream such as the waste gas stream in the combustion gases stack of a thermal power plant, consists of greenhouse gases.
- the gas stream comprises both greenhouse gases and non-greenhouse gases, such as for example nitrogen.
- injecting the gas stream comprises installing an injection well into the subsurface injection formation from the surface site of injection above the subsurface injection formation.
- the injection well is a type of well selected from the group consisting of a vertical well, a deviated well and a horizontal well. In a preferred embodiment, the well is a horizontal well.
- the method further comprises performing one or more than one of geological data analyses, geomechanical data analyses, and numerical simulation techniques to determine the optimum injection-disposal well pattern, well spacing, and well configuration to optimize the dissolution of the greenhouse gases in the water-laden layer.
- the method further comprises allowing the greenhouse gases in the gas stream (and non-greenhouse gases when present) to remain in the subsurface injection formation until at least some or all of the greenhouse gases either, i) dissolve into the formation water in the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation, ii) displace formation water in the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation, or both iii) dissolve into the formation water in the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation and displace formation water in the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation, thereby sequestering some or all of the greenhouse gases in the subsurface injection formation.
- the gas stream comprises nitrogen, a non-greenhouse gas.
- the gas stream comprises nitrogen
- the subsurface injection formation comprises a surface side (top) toward the ground surface and the method further comprises, during or after, sequestering the greenhouse gases in the water-laden layer, allowing the nitrogen to rise toward the surface side (the top) of the subsurface injection formation or between the subsurface injection formation and the ground surface until some or all of the nitrogen reaches a layer that is relatively impermeable to water, and the method further comprises venting the nitrogen into atmospheric gases above the ground surface.
- injecting the gas stream comprises installing an injection well into the subsurface injection formation from the surface site of injection above the subsurface injection formation, the injection well is a first well, and venting comprises providing a second well from the ground surface into the subsurface injection formation.
- the second injection well is selected from the group consisting of a vertical well, a deviated well and a horizontal well.
- the method further comprises providing the second well with one or more than one of casing perforations, downhole or surface based water-gas separation systems, and downhole or surface pumps, as will be understood by those with skill in the art with reference to this disclosure.
- injecting the gas stream comprises injecting the gas stream from the source of production continually as the gas stream is produced by the source of production, such as for example injecting the gas stream continually over a time selected from the group consisting of at least one day, at least one week, at least one month, at least one year, at least five years and at least ten years.
- the method comprises injecting the gas stream from the source of production intermittently as the gas stream is produced by the source of production, such as for example injecting the gas stream for 8 hours per day, six days of each week.
- a gas stream is selected as the waste gas stream (flue gas) generated by a thermal power plant.
- a 1000 megawatts coal-fired thermal power plant typically generates about 3.4 million m 3 flue gas/hr, where the flue gas comprises about 12% carbon dioxide, thereby generating about 410,000 m 3 carbon dioxide/hr of carbon dioxide, or about 10,000,000 m 3 carbon dioxide/day.
- a subsurface injection formation suitable for sequestering the one or more than one greenhouse gas in the waste gas stream is selected, where the subsurface injection formation is at least 900 meters below the surface site of injection above the subsurface injection formation, and where the subsurface injection formation comprises a water-laden sand layer of relatively high permeability to water below a layer of shale that is relatively impermeable to water.
- the subsurface injection formation comprises a water-laden sand layer of about 20 km wide by 20 km long by 100 meters thick with an average porosity of 25 % .
- the waste gas stream is removed from the combustion gases stack of a thermal power plant and transported by pipeline to the surface site of injection above the subsurface injection formation.
- the waste gas stream is injected into the subsurface injection formation at a pressure of about 1 x 10 4 kPa.
- Carbon dioxide has a solubility in water of about 27 cubic meters (m 3 ) of carbon dioxide per cubic meter water at about 1 x 10 4 kPa and 55 0 C. Therefore, the storage capacity of the subsurface injection formation is about 10 billion cubic meters of water with a carbon dioxide storage capacity of about 267 billion cubic meters.
- the carbon dioxide storage capacity of the subsurface injection formation is about 73 years worth of carbon dioxide production (267 billion m 3 divided by 10 million mVday divided by 365 days per year).
- the greenhouse gases in the waste gas stream are allowed to remain in the subsurface injection formation until at least some or all of the greenhouse gases either, i) dissolve into the water in the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation, ii) displace water in the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation, or both iii) dissolve into the water in the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation and displace water in the water-laden layer of the subsurface injection formation, thereby sequestering some or all of the greenhouse gases in the subsurface injection formation.
